I live in Nebraska. You live where you live. Profound thinking going on here. 15 years ago we had a smattering of running road races, occasional swim events, cycling criterions and weight lifters did their thing. It was a quiet life in 1996. Plus Nebraskans were basking in the glow of back-to-back National championships [...]

That which seems innocent, fuels unhealthy eating and adds some undesirable psychological dependency and chemicals into our body. Great article from Denise Mann of Health/ CNN. [...]
